The photos don't reveal much about China drones, but they do show many interesting facts. You can read on to find out more about the Wing Loong 2, Caihong 6, and many other Chinese drones. The final decision is yours whether to purchase these drones. The video will also explain what you should look for. These drones are the most used in commercial usage. What about those that aren't yet on the market?
Wing Loong 2
The Chengdu Wing Loong II is an unmanned, remotely controlled aerial vehicle designed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group in People's Republic of China. It is also known as GJ-2. In addition to civilian applications, the Chengdu Wing Loong II has been used in military trials. It has won many awards, including being the first civilian drone with an international patent.
Wing Loong can fly for up to 20 hours at a speed of 370 km/h. Its flight endurance can be listed as 27 hours. However it was not provided by the Chinese company with the number of flights. The Wing Loong 2 is not only suitable for military purposes, but can also be used to capture aerial photos, film, and even as surveillance tools. China doesn't advertise its military capabilities publically.
Caihong 5
China is quickly rising to be a major supplier of UAVs with strike capability. China has sold 181 drones, more than three-quarters of which are strike-capable, to 13 countries between 2008 and 2018. In the same period, the Wing Loong series, and the popular Caihong series, accounted for 35.4% and 53.6%, respectively. The new CH-5 is expected to continue this trend and take on the UAVs of the United States and Israel.
Caihong5 has a forward-pointing V-tail and a nose with radome. It can fly at a height up to 9,000 meters, as opposed to the 7,200-meter range of its gasoline-powered piston-engine counterpart. It also has a 20% reduction in fuel consumption, making it more economical to operate. The Caihong 5 is the heaviest drone ever produced by China.
Wing Loong 1E
The newest addition to the Wing Loong family of large unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is the Wing-Loong-1E, a strike-capable, multi-purpose UAV that recently made its maiden flight. Although AVIC has not released any specific details, a prototype was shown at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in 2010. It features an aerodynamic design that is distinctive and upward-pointing, as well as winglets.
The Wing Loong-1E China drone has been manufactured in Chengdu (a city in Sichuan). This facility specializes in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and it is an indication that China is looking to produce its own drones. The Wing Loong 1E is smaller than its predecessor, but it is expected to be more durable due to composite materials and improved aerodynamics. The drone will have greater range, endurance, efficiency, and cost-efficiency.
Wing Loong II
A Chinese UAV named the Wing Loong II is rumored to be a contender to replace the MQ-1 Predator in the Middle East. According to the company, the country expressed an interest in purchasing 300 unmanned aircraft. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are also interested in the Chinese drone. They have already agreed to produce 48 units together. However, before these countries commit to purchasing a Wing Loong II drone, it is important to assess its military potential.
The Wing Loong II, a better version of the original, is more advanced. The new model can carry 12 air-to-surface rockets. The Wing Loong II was introduced to the PLAAF in November 2018, and is the second model in the Wing Loong series. It's an upgraded variant on the Wing Loong and has already entered service with China’s military. Both the GJ-2 and the Wing Loong II have similar capabilities, but the Wing Loong II has a larger platform.
